when running 4022's XY on dpa bar, how do you get windscreens on the mics ?

[sheffield]

the small dpa windscreens will fit but its tight, sheffield

[ttrego2003]

thanks , do many people run these XY, or ORTF.

I put the small screens on first, then mount the mics to the bar.

I usually run my 4023's DIN unless I am very close then I will run ORTF, never really ran x/y before, hope this helps,   sheffield

what kind of mount do you use to run DIN?

[sheffield]

been borrowing and now in the process of buying a schoeps Kwon DIN bar and the shoeps A20 S shock mount.  The kwon bar will fit the 4023's but I dont think it will with the 4022's but not sure on that.  If I use the dpa mount thats ORTF or x/y I still need the shock mount, I just love the easy of the schoeps din bar with the shock mount.    sheffield

Is that schoeps bar a safe mount for the 4023s?  the 4023 connectors dont lock.  If your stand got hit hard, couldn't the capsules come off the connectors? 

I always used the ORTF mount that grabbed the capsule body.   I never really felt like the lemos were seated tight enouhg to use them as a mount point.

We need tapermark to put his laser cutting skills to work on a DPA DIN bar.

indeed we do!

esp since this part is so cheap!

my lemo connectors lock with easy in the Kwon din bar, never had a problem snapping them in, it also is a tight fit so it would take a hell of a hit to pull one loose.    sheffield

The Kwon DIN bar works for 4023's?  Never knew that.   

[sheffield]

only the 4023's, It's my favorite setup so far.

yep, you gotta mush the screens together to fit.

I use a single standard vocal mic type windscreen which pops over both mics and pulls securely and snugly onto either the straight up XY bar or the XY/ORTF bar no problem.  Doesn't offer spectacular wind protection but it definitely has done the job for the few times that I run XY.  You could likely double up if you wanted to run in a more windy open environment.  Looks like it's a screen designed for Shure Ball type vocal mics:

I've only run XY once (indoors with the small windscreens) and didn't really like the results.  I put the windscreens on b/f strapping the mics into the bar.  I use the DPA ORTF/XY bar and DPA shockmount.  ORTF has treated me well; I would be interested in a DIN setup though (which I really liked when I ran MBHOs).
